    OT: Your favorite retro pinball or video arcade games?

    Loved Asteroids. I have a windows version that I have yet to load on my current PC. I wonder if it would run? Good stuff.

    I hate soccer and won’t watch the World Cup Thread.

    My Instagram algorithm is packed solid with these. At first I enjoyed them. Now I’m beginning to think they are insincere comments creating content in order boost followers. A foreigner amazed at his first visit to Buc Ees is funny the first three or four times. After that, not so much. I’m...

    This really is a great song

    Now the Kids are about out of the house? Thinkng of moving to Center City, Phila? Anybody live there?

    Had a boss years ago that lived in one of condos that had been converted from an old shipping pier between the Ben Franklin bridge and Penn’s Landing. What an incredible place to live. Always enjoyed visiting him there.

    Different circumstances entirely. And, I’m not a Joebot.

    BGJ sweatshirt

    I classify the sweatshirt slogan as unnecessary. Kind of like the dominate the state line or great to elite or reacting to the fan in the stands or any subtle jabs at Pitt early on. The more these seemingly minor incidents popped up, the less likable he became.
